Cycloleucine (CL) is a methyl donor inhibitor. Our previous findings showed that CL could affect meiotic maturation and developmental potency of porcine oocytes by reducing nucleic acid N6-methyladenosine (m6A) epigenetic modification level. However, the effects of CL on porcine male reproduction...
Melatonin (MT), a neurohormone synthesized and secreted primarily by the pineal gland, is of vital function to animal reproduction. However, the effect of MT treatment on porcine immature Sertoli cells (iSCs) remains unclear. Here, MT treatment (10 nM, 36 h) could elevate mitochondrial function a...
Translation fidelity is the limiting factor in the accuracy of gene expression. With an estimated frequency of 10-4, errors in mRNA decoding occur in a mostly stochastic manner. Little is known about the response of higher eukaryotes to chronic loss of ribosomal accuracy as per an increase in the...
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is highly aggressive, with treatment resistance and recurrence driven by metabolically plastic glioma stem cells (GSCs). Inspired by brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis, researchers transplanted BAT-derived mitochondria (BA-Mito) into GSCs, reducing stemness mar...
Cardiolipin (CL) is a phospholipid specific for mitochondrial membranes and crucial for many core tasks of this organelle. Its side chain configurations are tissue-specific, functionally important and generated via post-biosynthetic remodeling. However, this process lacks the necessary specificit...
Reduced estrogen action is associated with obesity and insulin resistance. However, the cell and tissue-specific actions of estradiol in maintaining metabolic health remain inadequately understood, especially in men. We observed that skeletal muscle ESR1/Esr1 (encodes estrogen receptor α) is posi...
Background Androgenetic alopecia (AGA), the most prevalent form of hair loss, is driven by the dysfunction of dermal papilla cells (DPCs). Emerging evidence implicates DPC senescence in the pathogenesis of AGA; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely elucidated.
